Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is pictured through glass as he speaks with members of his caucus in Ottawa, on Monday, Dec. 16, 2024.
Chrystia Freeland's resignation from cabinet on Monday has encouraged some Liberal MPs to double down on their efforts to push Prime Minister Justin Trudeau out of the top job. How might Trudeau choose to proceed in the coming weeks?
A number of other MPs have now publicly called on the prime minister to step aside and let someone else lead the Liberals into the next election."The prime minister, as I understand it … will reflect on both the decision that minister Freeland made, but also what he's heard from members of his own caucus," Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said Tuesday.
Parliament could carry on as normal while the Liberal Party conducted a new leadership race. But since the Liberals don't have a majority of seats in the House of Commons, they would run the risk of being toppled in a non-confidence vote before a new leader is chosen.Liberal MPs are among those calling for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down following Chrystia Freeland's shocking departure from cabinet on Monday.
He might be able to appease some MPs by offering them cabinet positions. Trudeau was expected to shuffle his cabinet at some point in the coming weeks to replace a number of ministers who have decided they won't be seeking re-election. That long-rumoured shuffle — which also triggered Freeland's exit — likely would still have to happen if Trudeau decides he's staying at the helm.
